Hawksbill Turtles
The Hawksbill Turtle is a critically endangered sea turtle known for its distinctive beak-like mouth and beautiful, patterned shell. These turtles primarily inhabit coral reefs in tropical and subtropical waters, where they play a vital role in maintaining the health of these ecosystems by feeding on sponges.
Hawksbill Turtles are known for their migratory behavior, often traveling long distances between feeding and nesting sites. They typically nest on sandy beaches, laying around 100 eggs per clutch. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these turtles from threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.
